Celebrity screen names



Celebrities change their screen name all the time. Some for personal reasons, while others feel that changing their screen name will give them that chance to stand out in a crowded room full of stars.

Take for example, sexy actress and content creator Ivana Alawi. Before, she used the name of Mariam Al-Alawi,when she competed in GMA-7's talent competition 'StarStruck.'

Meanwhile, singer-actor Ice Seguerra, changed his name from Aiza to Ice to reflect the big change he was going through during the time he came out as a transman.

He said in an interview with Push.com then, “So the reason why I didn't tell anyone to call me Ice is siyempre alam nila na Aiza ako eh so why do I need to change it? Siguro ngayon mas nagma-matter na saken 'yung sincerity, 'yung authenticity. That this is the new me. I'm Ice - still me. Wala naman masyadong pinagbago, maliit pa din ako, kumakanta pa din ako. But I just want you to call me by that name,”
